Patient's question:
I have had uterine fibroids for many years. Recently, my friends have been telling me that eating notoginseng is very beneficial for health, especially for girls. It is said that regularly consuming notoginseng powder can make the skin fairer and softer. Therefore, I would like to try eating notoginseng powder as well. However, considering that I have uterine fibroids, I wanted to ask if it is safe to eat notoginseng powder with uterine fibroids.Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids can be consumed with Sanqi powder, but Sanqi powder has little effect on treating fibroids. Uterine fibroids smaller than 5 cm can be regularly re-examined. If there are no symptoms and the size does not decrease, treatment may not be necessary. It is important to closely monitor the development of the fibroids. If symptoms occur, oral medication can be taken. Uterine fibroids smaller than 5 cm usually require timely surgical treatment, as the effectiveness of medication is not as good in this case. Uterine fibroids are a common gynecological disease that is prone to occur. During medication, women should pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients pay close attention to vaginal hygiene and maintain a light diet. Finally, we wish female patients a speedy recovery.
